- (man) Unauthorised incoming wormhole.



- Move! Move! Receiving GDO transmission,special code two.

Open the iris.

Please Help.

He's bleeding internally.

I'm gonna haveto open him up.

Operating Room one! Go, go, go! Tek matte, Bra'tac.

Are you in need of medical assistance?



- The blood is not mine.



- What has transpired?

Chulak was att*cked.

By Apophis.

Son of a bitch! Apophis left Sokar's shipbefore it exploded.

Somebody's gottateach that guy how to die.

He controls the army of Sokar.

A most powerful force.



- I will return with you at once.



- The fight is over, Teal'c.

The att*ck was swift.

There was nothing left to do .

.

but try to save the lifeof young Moac, my newest apprentice.

But attacking Chulak doesn't make sense.

All the Jaffa weren't willingto oppose the Goa'uld, were they?



- No.



- It's quicker to wipe them all out .

.

rather than try to weed out traitors.

(phone rings) Hammond.

I understand.

Bra'tac, you better get downto the OR right away.

We've done everything we can.

I have failed you.

No.

It is I who have failed you.

You are the bravest JaffaI have ever trained.

I'm scared.

Kla mel kalak.



- His body is to be b*rned.



- I will see to it personally.

I am an old man, Teal'c.

One day I wish to spread Moac's asheson the grave of Apophis.

But I do not know if I havethe strength to fight any more.

Many have d*ed, old friend.

But their deaths must not go in vain.

Word of this must spread to all Jaffa.

Yes.

But maybe it is for someone youngerand stronger than I to spread that word.

You are the strongest JaffaI have ever known.

In my 1 35 years, .

.

l have never seen a Goa'uld turnon those that carry its kind this way.

He massacred so many that haveworshipped him for so long.

Perhaps he has done this to show theSystem Lords how truly powerful he is.

You know well Apophis has weaponsthat could have been used from space.

There had to be some other purpose.

His army swept through Chulak as if They were searching for something.

The Harsesis.

Apophis fathered a child with Sha're,the host of his mate Amaunet.



- He hoped to create a host for himself.



- It is forbidden.

The child would have all the knowledgeof the Goa'uld.

Amaunet hid the boy.

Of course.

The boy would be hunted.

He could be the undoing of the Goa'uld.

But Apophis doesn't knowwhere Amaunet hid him.



- Which is why they searched Chulak.



- Do you know where this child is?

Uh All I know isthat it's a place called Kheb.

You have heard of such a place?

It is an ancient legend.

I did not believe it really existed.



- It has to.



- The Goa'uld fear and despise Kheb.

They forbade anyonefrom speaking of it long ago.

It is somethingmy father once spoke of to me.

An old tale about a placediscovered long ago by a few Jaffa, .

.

and kept secret from the Goa'uld.

When they could no longer carrya Prim'ta, they would journey to Kheb.

There, their kalak would learn the paththrough the darkness into the next life.



- Kalak.

That means "soul", right?



- Yes.

When some of the Goa'uld found outabout Kheb, they made their way there.

They did not return.

It was forbidden to speak of ever again.

My father enjoyed telling me this story.

"If the Goa'uld are trulyall

-powerful gods," he would say, .

.

"how is it that they fear anything?

" It sounds like the perfect placeto hide someone.

I don't suppose you happen to knowthe Stargate address.



- No.



- All I have is obscure Earth mythology .

.

that indicatesOsiris once hid there from Seth.

That story, as told among Jaffa, .

.

is that Osiris hidon one of the planets of the Loc'na Ko.



- What's that?



- A group of planets depleted by mining.

I don't suppose you happen to knowthe addresses of any of those planets.

There.

Those arethe planets of the Loc'na Ko.



- What's the red one?



- We basically have two reference maps.

Yellow represents the cartouchethat the Goa'uld left on Abydos.

The Ancients' original mapof the Stargates is in red.

You don't recognise this address here?



- No.



- If the legend is true, .

.

the Goa'uldnever would have included Kheb.

This is the only planet in the systemthe Goa'uld didn't include on their map.

We've found it.

How do we know for surethat this is Kheb?

I have heardKheb is an untouched wilderness .

.

with great mountains and a templein a valley distant from the Stargate.

If the Goa'uld fear Kheb, that wouldexplain why they never mined this planet.

If Amaunet thought to hide the Harsesison Kheb Apophis would presume so.

Well, scary stories or not,Apophis is just nuts enough to go.



- I'd like some backup on this one, sir.



- SG

-2 will accompany you.

As will l.

Let's just hope we're first.



- We'll check in every 30 minutes.



- Yes, sir.



- Hold the fort, Major.



- Yes, sir.

What you got?

A group of Jaffapassed through here recently.



- Six.



- Eight.

So Not the first.

You have been unusually silent, Bra'tac.

There is not much time leftbefore I can no longer carry a Prim'ta.

When that time comes,I will have to decide what to do.

If this truly is Kheb,that time may be upon us both.



- What is it?



- Six of the Jaffa stopped here.

Two went on ahead.

They returned with another.

A woman.

How do you know that?

Here.

The third of the printsare small and light, .

.

the shoe, an open

-toed sandalworn by Jaffa women.

When they met up againthere was a struggle.

Then they headed into the forest.

Each print is spread wide.

They were running.



- He's good.



- Extremely.

The woman may be the priestessentrusted with the child.



- Smell that?



- Yeah.

(O'Neill) Carter?

It's OK, sir.

It's just a bird.

No Look.

This is really weird.

They're burnt to a crisp,yet nothing around them's been touched.



- As if lightning struck them.



- Or some kind of I have never before seena w*apon that could do such a thing.

w*apon (Bra'tac) Over here! She was sh*t in the back as she fled.

I counted eight bodies total.

So, what happened here?

The priestess was being escortedback to the Stargate by two of the Jaffa.

When they met the others, realisingshe was in danger, she attempted to flee.

They chased her and sh*t her.

Then someone or somethingattacked them.



- You can't know that for sure.



- I am quite certain.



- What about the child?



- She carried the child.



- How can you know that?



- Her hands are not bound.

Yes.

And they sh*t low.

And what happened to the boy?

That I cannot guess.

The priestess diedmore than two days ago.

But when his Jaffa did not return theHarsesis, Apophis should have sent more.

Perhaps many more.

Kheb?

Kheb.

No welcoming party.

Well, someone'sbeen reading Martha Stewart.

Probably inside.

Daniel?



- Jack?



- What ya doin'?

Something about this place sayswe shouldn't rush in waving g*ns around.

He is right.

This is sacred ground.

Ayee Wait here.

I have dreamed of finding this placetwice as long as you have been alive.

I will accompany you.

Hey! Whoa!

- Where'd you come from?



- I have been here for some time.

No.

You weren't herewhen we just came in.



- Here is everywhere you are.



- Excuse me?

Um Hello.

I'm, uh, I'm Daniel Jackson.

This is Jack O'Neill, and this is Bra'tac.

We're peaceful explorersfrom a place called Earth.

Do you seek oneness with Desala?

"Desala" I know that word.

It sounds tribal.

African, maybe.

Desala is everything, everywhere.

Nature.

It, uh

- It means "nature".



- Ah.

Put no barriersbetween you and where you are.

Don't look at me.

I believe he wishes usto take off our boots.

Yeah, look.

Uh

- We've been walkin' a ways today

- Your journey has only begun.

I just think I'm doin' us all a big favourby keepin' these babies on.

When the mind is enlightened,the spirit is freed.

The body matters not.

Whew! Here's an idea.

Why don't we justask the man if the boy's here?

We've come looking for a boy A baby.

Lightning flashes, sparks shower.

In one blink of your eyes,you have missed seeing.

Lightning, you say?

I only know a snowflakecannot exist in a storm of fire.



- What?

!

- Jack No, l You know me.

I'm a huge fan of subtlety.



- But that's downright encryptic.



- Sorry.

Don't, uh, don't worry about him.

The sun is warm, wind is wild,grass is green along the shores.



- Here no bull can hide.



- Oh, I don't know about that.

Jack, he's speaking in Zen koans.

Whatever theology he follows may bean original basis for Buddhism on Earth.

Well, that's very nice.

I'll be sureto call the Dalai Lama when I get home.

But, for now,how about why we came here?

Um, he's right.

This is very important.

Is there a child here?



- There is a child in all of us.



- Oh, come on.

He seeks a real human boy.

Of flesh and bones.

Those who seek onenessfind all that they seek.

I think this is gonna take a while.

Really?

What gives you that idea?

(gust of wind) Everything OK?

It is nothing.

I do not havea good feeling about this place.



- What of the Harsesis child, O'Neill?



- I don't know.

There's a monk guyDaniel thinks might know something, .

.

so he's gonna play along for a while.

"Play along"?

Something about enlightenment?



- Sir

- I know.

I know.

Within you is a beingwhose heart knows only darkness.



- Yes.



- You must renounce such evil .

.

to achieve oneness with Oma Desala.

"Oma"

- what does that mean?

Words cannot express things.

Speech cannot convey the spirit.

Swayed by words, one is lost.

Onecannot carry darkness on the great path.

If I removed the symbiote in me,I would die.

You cannot start the journeywith it inside you.

So a Jaffa cannot seek onenessbefore he is willing to die?

When the mind is freed,the body is no longer required.

I sense you are not readyto meet Oma Desala.

I am not ready to die.

But I take solace in the factthat journey is ahead of me.

So I don't, uh, I don't have to die, right?



- You do not have the same evil in you.



- Good.

But you have your own burdensof which to rid yourself.

OK.

I am not yet ready to give up.

I feel alive, Teal'c.

Like a young man of 80.

We still have false gods to slay.

She goes into the lakewithout making a ripple.

She goes into the forestwithout disturbing a blade of grass.

Who is she?

The mother.

Desala.

Nature.

Mother Nature.

We're We'reWe're talking about Mother Nature.

Why do you seek this childof flesh and bones?

He is the son of my wife.



- But not your son?



- No.

But my wife is dead now, and I promisedI would make sure the boy is safe.

And you are surehe will be safe with you?

Yes.

Absolutely.

Because it is so clear,it takes a longer time to realise it.

If you immediately knowthe candlelight is fire, .

.

then the meal was cookeda long time ago.

Right.

Um I, uh I have no idea what you're talking about.

I can't do it.

You say you seek this childto fulfil a promise.



- Yes.



- Is there another reason?

The child has knowledge.

He can helpmy people defend themselves .

.

against an evil enemy, the Goa'uld.

You hate the Goa'uld.

The Goa'uld are responsiblefor the death of my wife, .

.

among millionsand millions of other people.

How can I not hate them?



- Your hate will lead to the child's death.



- How do you know that?

You must trust.

You must believe.

Well, maybe I don't believeI can light a candle with my mind.

I find it a lot easier to use a lighteror a match.

It's much more practic

- Wow.



- Now you blow it out.



- With your mind.



- Oh.

I'm sorry.

Could you, uhCould you light that again?

This isn't a trick candle or anything, is it?



- Put your hand in the flame.



- What?

Place your hand in the flame.

Agh!

- Why tell me to do that?



- Why do it?



- Because you told me to.



- Because you trusted.



- Yes.



- Within you is the capacity for trust.

Trust Oma Desala.

Do not believe you can light the candle.

Believe she can light the candle.

Time's up.

Jack, the markings on the wallare a language.

It's a bible.

No, more of an instruction book on howto reach this ethereal plane of existence.

Naturally the Jaffa would interpret itas a passage to the afterlife.

Whoa! Slow down there, Grasshopper.

OK.

I'm pretty sure this placewas built by an alien race millennia ago.

They may have even visited Earth andinspired the concept of Mother Nature.

So this guy's an alien?

No.

The aliens discovered a means toascend to a higher plane of existence .

.

and went there, wherever "there" is.

They left the writings as a mapfor others who wanted to follow them.

The monk is just someone who'ssort of taken up a curatorship.



- A janitor?



- A guide.



- An usher?



- It doesn't matter.

Just watch.

Am I supposed to believe you did that?

Yes.

Daniel A word?

We didn't come to learn parlour tricks.



- Is the boy here or not?



- I think so.

Because every minute we stay here,we're risking our necks.

I'm on the verge of orderinga complete search of this place.



- You can't do that.



- You're confused, Daniel.

I can.



- I am gaining his trust.



- How long is that gonna take?



- Jack, you don't understand.



- I think I do.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey.

All right, that's dangerous.

Put it down.

OK.

That was a little more impressive.



- How'd you do that?



- Actually, I did that.



- What?



- That's what I've been tryin' to tell you.

This is incredible.



- He taught you

- How to do things with my mind.

You could do it, too.

He could teach me how to light candlesand move stuff around by thinking?

I cannot teach youwhat you already know.

Oh, I don't think I knowas much as you think I know.

You must come to know Oma Desala.



- Become her friend.



- (whoosh) That your friend?

Oh, great(!) Teal'c, Bra'tac,you wanna check that out?



- Major Coburn?

This is O'Neill.



- Read you, sir.

We've got Jaffa activity.

How's your position?



- Clear, sir.



- Good.

Stand by.

I want claymoresfrom the entrance to here.



- I thought we were leaving.



- Me, too.



- So, is the kid here or not?



- Jack Daniel! That was a glider.

We're out of time.



- Time means nothing to the

- Uh

-uh! Don't say it.

(voices from below)

- The claymores are set, sir.



- Good.



- Daniel thinks we should stay.



- Why?

Well, watch.

What?



- You did that?



- Yes.



- That's impossible.



- You'd think.



- Why?



- You learned the power to control fire?

It's not just fire.

All the instructions are here, on the walls.

All you have to dois be willing to learn and believe.

I'm sorry, but something elsehas to be going on here.

Why?

Well I don't know,but under different circumstances .

.

l would bring in equipment andcheck for concealed technology before l Doesn't a part of you want to believea person can reach a higher level?



- Yes, of course, but

- Don't you see?



- I have that power.



- To do what?

To protect the child.

I thinkshe doesn't want me to leave .

.

until she knowsI understand how to protect him.

Who's "she"?

A Goa'uld mother ship has landed.

As many as 2,000 troops approach.

Love to stay and chat Wait! Wait a minute! What about Down.

(baby gurgles) We must elude them through the forest.

Where's Daniel?

Daniel?

Daniel, we gotta go! For cryin' out loud

- I don't know where he is.



- So what do we do?



- Coburn?

O'Neill.



- Read you, sir.

Hightail it back through the gate.

Tell Hammond we're pinned down.



- Request backup.



- Yes, sir.

Lots of backup.

Damn! All right, here they come.

Defensive positions.

Hold offon the claymores as long as we can.

I don't want to get into thisunless we have to.

And if we make it out of this in one piece,remind me to harm Daniel severely.

Thank you.

He'll be safe with me.

I didn't do any of it, did l?

It was you.

I was wrong.

I don'tI don't have any powers at all.

You do.

You were showing them to me.

That's how you communicate with us.

You were tryin' to tell me the boyis better off here with you, and l I wasn't listening.

I made a promise.

I promised he would be safe.

Kree shak! Lo koma.

Assak! Joma, sakoon.

(primes w*apon)

- You are not welcome here.



- In the name of the god Apophis, .

.

we have come for a young boy.



- You will leave now.



- We will not.

Stand aside.

(Daniel) No! Drop your weapons!

- Do it!

- Kree, lo assak.



- Drop your weapons.



- You heard him!

- I was talking to you, Jack.



- Wh What?



- Do it now, all of you.



- Daniel?

Jack, I was wrong.

I was very wrong.

One of those aliens is still here.



- Sir, we put our g*ns down, we're dead.



- You will die if you do not.

Jack, if you're ever gonna trust meon anything, now is the time.

The alien is the one with the powers,and she is not someone to fool with.

(whispers) You must do it! k*ll them.

Bye.

(screaming) Well, that was cool.

Wow! You're leaving.

You know that more of them will comeas long as they know the boy is here.

I'll see both of you again someday, right?

I take it that wasthe Harsesis child she was holding.

Yeah.

I thought we needed that kid.

You're just gonna let her?

No choice, huh?

Colonel O'Neill, Major Coburn.

Come in.



- Yeah, go ahead, Major.



- Reinforcements are on the way, sir.

Take your time.

We're secure.

Good to hear it, sir.

Uh, sir, the Stargate just came on.

There's a strange bright lightheaded this way.

Do not engage.

Repeat:get out of the way and do not engage.

In fact, I'm ordering you all to put downyour weapons until that light is gone.

Yes, sir.

(Major Coburn) It's gone, sir.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Let's go home.

Daniel?

Shoes.
